This ingenious feature debut follows two friends (played by co-directors
Derek Lee and Clif Prowse) who set out to travel the world. But the
trip soon takes a dark and bloody turn when one of the men shows signs
of a mysterious affliction which gradually takes over his entire body.

Set in pre-First World War Germany,
Hoffmeister (Alan Rickman) is an ailing factory owner, whiskered and
respectable. As his energies flag, he looks to a sharp young man in his
employ for help. Ludwig (Richard Madden) impresses Hoffmeister with his
reliability and youthful spirit, and the older man finds himself leaning
more and more on this promising up-and-comer. At the same time,
Hoffmeister's young bride (Rebecca Hall) is looking for a tutor for
their child, and Ludwig proves both flexible and willing. When he moves
into their home, an emotional triangle develops. Societal dignity and
decorum must be respected, and it is. Nevertheless, heated passions come
into play, while Hoffmeister looks on. Based on Stefan Zweig's novel
"Journey into the Past."

Casper (Emory Cohen of "The Place Beyond the Pines") and Dominic (Callan McAuliffe of "The Great Gatsby") have been fiercely loyal friends since childhood. Desperate for a way out of their quiet town on the Maine-Canada border, the boys make a pact to pool their earnings on a car and hit the road. But when Casper is drawn into drug smuggling with his outlaw father to pay his share, their friendship is pushed to the brink and adult choices forced on them all too soon.

The quiet life of a beach bum is upended by dreadful news. He sets off
for his childhood home to carry out an act of vengeance but proves an
inept assassin and finds himself in a brutal fight to protect his
estranged family.

For recent retiree Caroline (Fanny Ardant), a new life of freedom and opportunity lies before her: time to take care of her children, her husband, and most of all, to finally take care of herself. But while her peers at the local seniors’ club pass the time with ceramics and amateur theater, she finds a new hobby of her own between the sheets with the center’s computer teacher Julien, a carefree ladies man decades her junior. The couple set rules for their affair, but Caroline seems to like courting danger, taking her lover to places she knows they might be seen and telling lies to her husband (Patrick Chesnais of "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly") that could easily be discovered. As Caroline finds herself in the midst a second youth – taking a new lover, living new experiences, breaking the rules, not doing what’s expected of her – will her retirement mark the beginning of the end for her marriage, or a new beginning?
